Title: Brake Disc Retaining Screws Post by: Beckerman67 on 24 September, 2021, 08:08:56 AM I'm about to have the front brake discs replaced on my 1972 1.3s S2 Coupe.
I've managed to obtain everything needed except for some new retaining screws. I was going to buy some as a back-up just in case the old ones needed drilling out. Does anyone know the specifications and/or a supplier. Many Thanks.

Any fastner store will be able to match once you have got one out. The double tab washer can be reused if not fatigued. Other wise you probably will need to make them up. Dont use spring washers. Brakes can get red hot and the spring washers will detemper and also crack.
